About the tiers. Tier A: an official record establishes what makes the conduct abuse of power, such as a court, inspector general, GAO or congressional finding; the government's or the president's own documents or words; or a filing the law requires to be made to a federal regulator. Tier B: the conduct is documented by independent reporting or disclosures, but no official record establishes it. Cross-referenced incidents are documented in full elsewhere in the record and linked. We publish all, labeled.
